The latest Goodforthegame newsletter penned by @BrentGraham with best bets for the weekend 1st, 2nd April 2023 and a 11/1 acca with @WorldSportsBet
I had mixed fortunes on the punting front last week with some nice winners (such as the Hurricanes over 41.5 points , the Newsletter Best Bet) but I also had a few blow-outs like the Sharks to beat the handicap against the Scarlets – what a shocking performance.
I was looking like finishing all square but a 14/1 cycling bet on Sunday afternoon saw me finish ahead. Cycling fans it is Monument time this weekend with the Ronde van Vlaanderen and I will post my selections in the forum thread
We change pace a bit this week with the Heineken Champions Cup round of 16 matches and we also have that standard helping of Super Rugby and Currie Cup.
THE HANDICAP
I reckon if you combine the ages of last night’s THE HANDICAP guests you probably wouldn’t reach my age. There was some excellent input from Young Guns @ThoughtsOnSports and @DarrenHolliday and links to key matches as well as Best Bets down below.

FORCE TO BEAT THE LINE
Neal was strong on the Force away to a Hurricanes side missing some key players and after hearing him talk I find myself firmly in the Force camp. The Hurricanes don’t appear to have as much depth as other New Zealand sides and the Force would have beaten this handicap against a potentially stronger Blues team last week.
There is mainly +20.5 around but I am going to take a slightly shorter price to make sure I have 3 clear scores to play with.
BET: 5 units Force +21.5 at 0.84/1 at Betway*
